It's already impacting people today. The same logic that you employ to deny that it's happening today can be used 80 years from now to deny that it's happening then: the change is too gradual for people to notice (insert quip

1) This is a collective-action problem. Stop blaming individuals for failures of the collective, it's counterproductive. The only thing that will happen is that people will entrench themselves in their current position (and might make

(so the US can drop the tariffs on them) That would require other countries trusting the promises of the current administration, yes? How much credibility does the Orange One have on the world stage?

Other countries also have different population numbers. To take a random example, why would e.g. Uruguay (population 3.5M) buy as much from the US (population 100x) as the US is able to buy from them? Besides, if the trade volume is what de

I feel that's merely side-stepping the issue: if natural language is not succint and unambiguous enough to fully specify a software program, how will any "ordinary person" trying to write software with it be able to avoid the

Not entirely true, they did consider that possibility, and their solution was the electoral college: the only reason for its existence is as a safeguard against installing a populist president that would corrupt the system.

Depends on how wide your definition on "domain" is. Most of the dinosaur lineages have gone extinct, it's not too wild an assumption to assume the same is true for entire lineages of other species. So the safe answer to your

It's necessary to teach oversimplified things to small minds, even oversimplified to the extent of being incorrect. Please get off your elitist horse. "Small minds" has nothing to do with it, it is mostly a matter of topic

From around 8 years old (depending on the child), this is probably an accurate assumption. Many children younger than that do not have a fully-developed theory of mind to understand different perspectives on the same issue. This may not mat

What do you mean? The government does actively participate in R&D, in the form of research grants, development subsidies and tax benefits.

Some of us think of ourselves as democratic citizens, not just solipsistic consumers. I guess that's where the difference comes from.

I think about this every time I install software. As a citizen of a small European nation, 100% of the software I use is under control of a foreign government, and I trust none of them. At least with open source software, there is a better

So basically, Fahrenheit chose 100°F to be the temperate when he gets hard and 0°F to be the temperature when his wife gets hard?

Curious why you would call that a memory leak? The memory is still accounted for in the Vec and will get released properly when it deallocates, right? This looks like optimizing memory usage to me, not plugging a leak.

Thanks for the correction. I hadn't considered bulk memory operations to be part of SIMD operation but it makes sense -- they operate on a larger grain than word-size so they can do the same operation with less micro-ops overhead.

Unethical behaviour always has a huge advantage over ethical behaviour, that's nothing new and pretty much by definition. The only way to prevent a race to the bottom is to make the unethical behaviour illegal or unprofitable.

Vector operations like AVX512 will not magically make common software faster. The number of applications that deal with regular operations on large blocks of data is pretty much limited to graphical applications, neural networks and bulk cr

Your argumentation itself is nefarious, because you're implicitly equating third-party with insecure.

You do realize this is a very infantilizing attitude? Why can't the end user choose its own level of security vs usability? Letting a corporation decide this for all users is just creating a nanny state in different clothing.

Germany is not unique either. Both France and Belgium are struggling with their inventory of nuclear power plants: many are operating near or past their designed lifespans, so maintenance is getting more expensive but they can't be dec

I don't understand this logic. To me, that's equivalent to saying "there's no absolute direction for which way a wheel spins, it's relative to the speed of the observer". Which makes no sense to me, because my
